DONATE OFFICE SUPPLIES AND COMPUTERS TO READING TO KIDS!
Do you have extra office supplies laying around that you've been meaning to get rid of? Have you been wondering what to do with your old computer now that you've got that nice new laptop? Are you ready to get rid of that file cabinet that you've never actually put files in?
If your answer to any of these questions is yes, Reading to Kids can use your help!
We are always looking for donations of office supplies to help reduce our operational expenses, and in particular, right now we are looking for a file cabinet! To check out our online "wish list," click here: http://readingtokids.org/HowToHelp/DonOfficeSupplies.html.
As for computers, Reading to Kids raffles off computers to students at our reading clubs a few times each year. The kids always get excited about our computer raffles! If you have a laptop, desktop, or printer that you no longer use, please consider donating it to Reading to Kids!
Contact Jessica.Tritsch@readingtokids.org if you have an item to donate.
